In 2023, the female infant mortality rate in Italy was at 1.6 deaths per thousand live births. Forecasts from 2024 predict a decline from 1.5 in 2024 to 0.9 by 2028. This demonstrates a consistent downward trend in the mortality rate, reflecting an average annual decrease. Specifically, between 2026 and 2027, the rate declines from 1.2 to 1.0, a notable drop of approximately 16.7% year-on-year.

Future trends to watch for include:

Advancements in healthcare technology and prenatal care.
Government policies and programs aimed at maternal and infant health improvement.
Socio-economic factors that could further influence these mortality rates.
